PLEASE HELP!

I have recently reinstalled windows and since then i havent been able to get any sound except the warning beeps from the computer itself. my speakers dont work.

The error message, 'There are no active mixer devices available. To install mixer devices go to Control Panel, click Printer and Other Hardware, and then click Add Hardware' pops up everytime I try to open the Volume Control.

I have tried downloading various drivers which many people have suggested bute when I try this message pops up:

'Microsoft QFE Update (835221)
This is only to be used on HP Consumer PCs preinstalled with Windows XP. Your PC does not meet this requirement, so update is being aborted...'

but my PC was preinstalled with Windows i've just had to reinstall it again!
